I have used additional information that was provided by Dieter Marschall. I have fairly recently begun to compile a database of Walther Model 8 pistols with pictures of individual guns that I have owned, observed on various internet sites, or seen in books. These dates and production numbers are based upon the following information: This means that total Model 8 production was about 145,000. Serial number range 715000 to about 745000 (less the Second Variations in the mid 720000 range) and then in 1938 900000A to perhaps 100000A but probably somewhat lower. Third Variation: Beginning in 1933 or 1934 to 1940. Serial number range 700000 to about 715000 and then several thousand in the mid 720000 range.
Second Variation: Beginning around 1927 to 1933 or 1934. Serial number range 390000 to about 480000. Production numbers and dates for the Walther Model 8 PistolĪfter an intense study of the information available to me at this time I suggest that the Walther Model 8 pistol production dates be revised as follows:įirst Variation: Beginning in 1920 to around 1926. *Serial number ranges will change as new guns are documented This weapon offers me totally confused at this point.Total Model 8 production was about 145,000 Simply because stupid as this noises, do you men remember cap weapons from back in the time, where you'n place the reddish record with the cáps on it ánd a flat piece of metallic would slap them to make it go off? The sludge hammer appeared a lot like that, but very much more sturdy. It was rather broad for a gun that size, nearly the width of the whole glide, and brief besides. The hammer had been unlike anything I'd ever seen either. The basic safety was quite small likened to the additional models, and simply searching, with no reddish colored us dot to show the environment. The glide on this weapon has been about 3' approximately, but the basic safety and hammer were different than the models on gunbroker. Here are the primary information I remember. Any concept of the season, provided the serial figures?Įdit: Okay, I simply went to gunbroker and appeared at a great deal of the WaIther PPK's PP's and everything inbetween, and this weapon isn'capital t precisely like any of them. I'll do a search on thé PPK ánd PP to see what I can find. I suspected it had been Munich, but it is most definitely a Walther, or a very similar knockoff. Lt could have got actually mentioned 'Manhurin' like thé poster before yóu talked about, but I experienced a bitch of a time attempting to read it.
